Rockies outfield prospect David Dahl underwent a splenectomy on Monday.

Had Dahl waited for his lacerated spleen to heal he likely would be missed the remainder of the season. Having it removed means he'll make it back this year, although it's unclear when that is likely to happen. Ranked before the season by Baseball America as the No. 22 prospect in the game, Dahl has batted .269/.296/.379 with three homers and 14 steals at Double-A New Britain this season. Jun 1 - 9:28 PM

Rockies prospect David Dahl will miss the remainder of the 2015 season after suffering a lacerated spleen in a gruesome collision in the outfield in a Double-A game on Thursday.

Dahl underwent successful surgery on Thursday to repair the massive laceration. Due to the severity of the injury, it's likely that he'll have to wear a protective device for the rest of his career to protect his spleen. May 28 - 11:16 PM

Rockies prospect David Dahl suffered a concussion and broken rib in a nasty on-field collision.

Dahl might also have a ruptured spleen and will obviously be sidelined for an extended period. The 21-year-old outfielder was batting just .263/.290/.374 with three home runs through 43 games this season at Double-A New Britain, though he has tallied 11 stolen bases. Dahl was the 10th overall pick in the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft. May 28 - 3:06 PM

Rockies prospect OF David Dahl went 2-for-5 with a home run, triple and two RBI on Wednesday for Double-A New Britain.

Both the home run and triple were the second of the season for Dahl, who’s batting .252/.286/.370 with nine extra-base hits and 11 stolen bases through his first 30 games at the Double-A level. The 21-year-old center fielder got off to a rough start offensively, but Wednesday's two-hit performance extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and he’s batting .333/.349/.524 in 43 plate appearances in that span. Dahl is one of the top outfield prospects in the minor leagues, and it says something that the Rockies assigned him directly to Double-A this year after playing just 29 games at High-A Modesto in 2014. If all goes as planned with his development, Dahl should be ready for the major leagues at some point in 2016. May 14 - 2:11 PM

Rockies placed OF Corey Dickerson on the 15-day disabled list with non-displaced fractures of two ribs.

An MRI exam revealed Friday that Dickerson had sustained non-displaced fractures of two ribs on his right side while diving for a line drive during Thursday's contest against the Cardinals. It's the third time that the outfielder has been forced to the disabled list this season. There is no clear timetable for his return at the moment.

He left Friday's start after throwing just 25 pitches. Kendrick could be dealing with a rotator cuff injury, which sometimes requires surgery. His roster spot will be absorbed by right-hander Scott Oberg.

Rockies placed LHP David Hale on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain.

Hale sustained the injury in Thursday's game against the Braves. As the strain is believed to be minor, he should require just the minimum time on the disabled list and be ready to return in late July.

Rockies recalled LHP Tyler Anderson from Triple-A Albuquerque and placed on the 60-day disabled list with an elbow injury.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Aaron Laffey who had his contract purchased from Triple-A on Friday. Anderson has been dealing with problems with his pitching elbow since early in the spring.
